Apple of My Eye Pie

‘I had decided to draw an apple pie, and wanted the fruit to be visible rather than being tucked out of sight under a pastry lid. So instead of a traditional one, I opted to depict a freeform galette, with no pastry on top, to show off the symmetry of the apple slices. This one has just come out the oven, ready for a brush with a fruity apricot glaze. The way the lining paper curled up in the oven meant I could have a bit of fun depicting its curves.’
